Facial Fitness PAO: weighted rubber wings you put in your mouth and waggle up and down

Last time I heard about a device like this, I recall a commentator suggesting that strengthening the facial muscles is actually more likely to loosen the skin and accentuate wrinkles. But that was a long, long time ago and perhaps the science has further evolved. Or not.

Who can forget Facial Flex and the Looseleaf Beauty Report (with a remix so you don’t get too bored). About 1:10 it gets a bit more interesting, and I dare you to stick it out.

Reminds me of a quote from a cartoon long, long ago: “Anyone can sell naked models, you’re supposed to be selling cars.”

Just to be clear, is this the kind of silly product that BoingBoing wants us to make fun of, or the kind they want us to buy?

Yes.

It’s the kind of product that Rob wants you to be curious enough to click on. Rob then personally gets a cut of everything you put in your Amazon cart in the next 24 hours and purchase within 89 days. That’s how Amazon affiliate links work. You don’t have to buy the specific product Rob links to. And all Boingers use their own Amazon affiliate accounts. Christmas season is likely a great time for Rob to get a cut of everything you put in your cart for a day. It doesn’t cost Boing Boing readers anything extra on Amazon, though. But Rob does get an anonymized list of everything purchased by BB readers who click, so if anyone buys these face wings, he’ll know :slight_smile:

Kudos for offending the majority of the Latin-speaking Roman ghost population (“instrumentum irrumatio”). Perfect allusion :wink:

Guarantied to give you muscleface!

  1. How many Chinese are stupid enough and can afford this product?

  2. There is a general “whitening” marketing and cultural affect in China and Japan, and I am sure other places. I had a friend in Singapore who lamented that too many people were dyeing their hair, and wearing make up to appear more western. Hell, China’s new big move, The Great Wall, imported Matt Damon for some reason.

I can’t be the one to critique, I just think it’s really interesting.

I think scientifically you could think of it as actual physical contact though the physical matter in series…like the way vibration of sound pushes the matter in the air + our flesh in waves against our tympanic bones, the sense of smell is actual residual physical matter coming into contact with our nasal receptors…then the light rays bouncing around that strike the rods and cones of the eyeballs of two people who happen to be looking at each other happen to be shared between them. Metaphorically like a handshake, but with gloves on?

We’ll know China et al are truly fucked if the “whiting” goes to “orange”. God spare us all. It’s a tough time to be a primate.
